Last year's FA Vase finalists (Cleethorpes Town and South Shields) were both promoted to Step Four over the summer so now take their place in this compeition, and the winners South Shields travel to Scarborough Athletic whilst runners up Cleethorpes Town host Hyde United.
My featured game will be at the Len Salmon Stadium in Pitsea as Bowers & Pitsea, FA Vase semi finalists from two season's ago, host Norfolk side Dereham Town in an all Bostick North Division tie. And both sides have had decent starts to their seasons, Bowers sit third in the league with seven wins from eleven and are just two points off the top, whilst Dereham sit fifth just two points back having won six of their ten league starts. It's therefore a hard one to call so a decent battle awaits!!! The winners will host either Egham Town or Shoreham in three weekends time in the First Qualifying Round.
